Guilderland

Guilderland Conservative Party voters will decide who will carry the party's line on Thursday.

Peter Barber, the Democratic and Conservative-endorsed candidate for town supervisor, will appear on the primary ballot for Conservatives. His opponent, Brian Forte, a Democrat turned Republican, did not get the Conservative Party's endorsement but petitioned for an opportunity to ballot as a write-in candidate.

In the Town Board race, the Conservative Party endorsed three candidates even though there are only two seats up for election on the board. Consequently, the three Conservative-endorsed candidates will appear on the Conservative Party ballot Thursday to determine which two candidates will carry the Conservative Party line in the November general election. Here are the three candidates:

Michele Coons is a Republican and is director of member services for the Retail Council of New York State and served as Guilderland's comptroller from 1998 to 2000. She is endorsed by the Guilderland Republican Party.

Lee Carman is a Republican and an Albany County legislator representing Guilderland. He is senior vice president of lending for Kinderhook Bank. He is endorsed by the Guilderland Republican Party.
